I am still havibg problems. After I rebooted the Thecus, LMS did scan my library. However, it will not completely rescan and update the library with new files. I have it set to rescsan at 3:00 am and as before it starts the rescan, "discovers" the files, but never completes the scan. I tried rebooting but to no avail.

Any reason to think 7.7.1 will perform the scans better? If so, how can I install just the update without reinstalling the entire server and therefore lose all my settings? I saw a reference to this beofre, but the explanation was too technical for me. I need a simple and step by step instruction.

Thankyou so much.

there were some fixes in 7.7.1. I can certainly install 7.7.1 over my old 7.7.0 without losing any settings. But I can't speak to the thecus.

Try doing a clean re-install, ie. remove the module completely and re-install it. Also, disabling automatic re-scan seems to help sometimes. All these things are not easily reproducible, so I'm not sure if they're caused by the module setup or the server code/bugs

Well, a false alarm I suppose. I rebooted my NAS and like magic the full scann began...................

Well I finally upgraded after 2.5 years at 7.3.3 (and hours before 7.7.1 was posted) and I too had to do a reboot before it could write to the new DB file. Curious since the rights looked fine as I had to do the tweaks I summarized way back here:

and I did full recursive chowns on the module install subdirs "squeezeboxserver" and "system".

Anyhow after this seemingly unnecessary reboot it all appears to be running fine now (albeit ruining about half a year of uptime). :-)

However I too am curious about the "proper" upgrade procedure. I am certainly comfortable with the manual upgrade (like I just did), as an old unix hand, but I'm getting old and lazy and would like to just do a GUI update. I've never bothered to learn the ".mod" process so I don't really know if it will wipe everything out (settings, plugins, etc.) and reset the above permissions and tweaks.

I know, I know, I should just do it since it will only take less than an hour even if I have to rebuild the DB and mysteriously reboot the NAS but this is a busy NAS and I will get flak from the household who are streaming media and working. Although WWTBOFHD? ;-D

7.7.2 is running slow

Hi iletunic,

thank you for releasing the update. Installation went without a problem. But the first scan only detected 1 song. I restarted the server and the it started to scan the whole library. But after it indicated it has finished the scanning process the time-counter is still running. The webinterface is very slow.

Billions of log messages with 7.7.2

Hi,
I'm running the 7.7.2 server on my N4200pro for 2 weeks now - thanks Ivica for your work.
Currently have seen a huge (385 GByte) squeezeboxserver.log file, still growing.
Each 9 ms a new log entry is added:

Rescan Issue

Well I'm still having the rescan issue. I'm also still at 7.7.0 as I rather suspect this isn't fixed. When I try to do a rescan the discovery step works fine but then it hangs and I get this in the logs:

As with other users, I continue to have major rescn issues. If I completely delete and reinstall LMS and then reboot my Thecus, I will get one good rescan. Hoever, when I add new music and need to do rescan, it will "discover" all the tracks on the library, but will not complete the rescan. Thus, the only way I can detect/rescan the new music is to do a complete reinstallation. Not too feasible. Any ideas?
